FRANKFURT, Germany -- Eric Zabel and Rolf Aldag, former teammates of
two Tour de France winners, admitted Thursday that they took
performance-enhancing drugs while riding for the Telekom team in the
1990s.

Speaking at a nationally televised news conference, both said they
took EPO. Both apologized and Zabel broke into tears during his
confession.

Aldag is now sporting director of the T-Mobile team, previously known
as Telekom. Zabel, a prominent sprinter, now rides for Milram.

Both were on the Telekom team when its riders won the Tour de France _
Bjarne Riis in 1996 and Jan Ullrich in 1997.

Aldag said he first took the blood booster EPO before the Tour in
1995, while Zabel said he took it in 1996.

Where's Mr. Riis? Will he out himself, or wait for others to do it to/
for him?
Best,
